The industrial revolution

This post is about the industrial revolution. Almost everything was powered by steam in the industrial revolution because they did not know about electricity yet. The industrial revolution started at the year seventeen-fifty and it ended at the year eighteen-fifty so the industrial revolution was about one hundred years long and usually the revolutions we talk about are that long but some are shorter or longer. Everybody loved coal in the industrial revolution because they needed it to power the steam powered stuff and almost everything was steam powered and in those days some people became miners to mine for coal and then they power the steam powered stuff, a lot of people went mining those days but now we don't because we have electricity and it is a lot better than steam powered stuff, also in those days they like making iron.

Before the steam engine was made they had to power stuff with water and it was easier to get than coal because water was everywhere and coal is harder to get because you have to mine it and then they have to do some stuff with it and then . The industrial revolution started at Europe, in the country Great Britain. All the people were amazed because of the steam engine in the industrial revolution. They made trains in the industrial revolution and they were powered by steam and they also made steam powered boats and they were also powered by steam because they have it on their name. The steam powered stuff are a little bit complicated because you have to do a lot of stuff to make it work like one of the stuff is getting coal and you also need metal for steam powered stuff to make steam powered stuff.

The industrial revolution was more than one hundred years ago that was really long ago, it is actually more than two hundred years ago, that before when you and me and everybody alive was born. The steam powered stuff were amazing because it has one of the first things that could power stuff that can make you faster like a boat and a train but they did not create cars those days because they did not have the stuff to make it and they didn't know what a car was in those days. It is hard work to power a steam powered thing because you have to get coal by mining and that takes a long time to do because you have to mine it with a pick axe or something and you try braking some stones with a thing that is like a pickaxe that is easy to do but it is hard if there is a lot.

Nothing was faster than a horse before but the industrial revolution changed that because they made well you know steam powered vehicles. Almost everyone was farming in the industrial revolution but at these days almost no one farms in some countries. Railways were also created in the industrial revolution because trains were made but they had to make the railways first then the train because the trains could not move without the railways. steam boats were great because in those days you could not travel in the water that easily because you have to learn how to swim and you cannot travel that fast by swimming and you will get tried but if you ride a boat you just need to ride a boat and you will not get tired because you are riding a boat because you just need to know how to control it and then you can go far.

Before they could not make weapons that could kill a lot of people at once because they did not know much about anything, but we slowly became smarter and smarter then we could create more stuff that are much better than the stuff that were in the old days. The industrial revolution created the first vehicles that were powered by something, like the steam boat and the train, most trains these days are still steam powered but some are not some are electric, electric trains are much easier to use because steam powered trains need coal but electric trains don't they need electricity but both of the trains need a driver, most boats these days are powered by gas, there are almost no steam powered boats anymore because they were harder to use than a gas powered boat and gas powered boats were faster. Anyway this is the end of my blog
